Building minds one move at a time

Why Chess?

Chess has been shown to enhance a wide range of cognitive and personal abilities, including

✅ Critical thinking and problem solving
✅ Concentration and focus
✅ Logical reasoning and analytical skills
✅ Patience, perseverance, and discipline
✅ Creativity and imagination
✅ Emotional resilience and sportsmanship

By learning to plan ahead, adapt strategies, and think several moves in advance, students develop skills that benefit them not only in academics but also in life

we believe that chess is more than a game — it is a powerful educational tool that sharpens the mind, cultivates patience, and fosters strategic thinking. Our Chess Program is an integral part of our co-curricular offerings, open to students of all ages and skill levels. Through engaging lessons, practice sessions, and competitions, we nurture a love for the game while developing skills that extend far beyond the chessboard.
